Andrew Harth

Andrew Harth serves as a secondary contracting professional within the FA8571 Maintenance Contracting unit of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, supporting the sustainment of mission-critical aerospace and electronic systems. He plays a vital role in executing complex maintenance and modernization contracts for high-precision test equipment, avionics instrumentation, and industrial support systems essential to Air Force operational readiness. His work centers on procurement activities governed by FAR Part 12 and Part 36, with a focus on service-based acquisitions for repair, calibration, and technical overhaul of sensitive military-grade hardware. Harth collaborates closely with engineering and logistics teams to align contracting strategies with technical requirements across aircraft maintenance and laboratory environments. Harth maintains consistent working relationships with leading technical vendors including Teradyne, Inc., Keysight Technologies Inc., and Corelis, Inc., specializing in automated test equipment and electronic diagnostics. He also engages with specialized fabrication firms such as Tyonek Machining and Fabrication, LLC, and consulting entities like Coho Consulting Group LLC to support custom engineering and systems integration services. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, ISO-certified suppliers with proven expertise in defense-grade electronics repair and precision manufacturing, ensuring compliance with military specifications and traceability standards. His procurement patterns show a strong preference for unrestricted competitions, with 94.1% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. When small business set-asides are utilized, they are primarily under FAR 19.5 Total Small Business set-asides, reflecting a measured but limited commitment to small business participation, prioritizing mission-critical performance and supply chain reliability. Harth’s primary NAICS focus areas include 811210 and 811219 for electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance, alongside 336413 for aircraft auxiliary equipment manufacturing and 333415 for commercial refrigeration and climate control systems. His technical domain expertise lies in sustaining complex test and measurement systems, industrial automation components, and air compression infrastructure critical to aircraft maintenance depots and aerospace laboratories.
